Susan in TN Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 OK, Slache, here's what I think we should shoot for. Fly into Innsbruck and take the train to Trieben, Austria, which is point A24 on the Purple trail. http://www.via-alpina.org/en/stage/24 We'll travel A24 to A66, which ends the trail in Germany. A bit less strenuous than the Swiss or Italian Alps and we get to see the world's largest monastic library, cool castles and cathedrals, and stuff. Also, we should plan to arrive in mid-September so we can attend a Viehschied festival (when the cows come home). Plan on at least 1-1/2 months, though a little more would be better so we can take our time and explore the castles and other cool things. Joining the Brittania chapter of the Austrian Alpine Club will get us decent discounts on lodging and food. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but you can ride a cablecar up some of the mountains or take a train, bus, or taxi to bypass to the next town. You ARE allowed to dance as much as you like on the trails.

KrissiK Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I just have to share the best descriptiOn ever... (it’s from Ove) ”Her laughter catches him off guard. As if it’s carbonated and someone has poured it too fast and it’s bubbling over in all directions. It doesn’t fit at all with the gray cement and right-angled garden paving stones. It’s an untidy, mischievous laugh that refuses to go along with rules and prescriptions.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Good morning! Two of the kids have orchestra "camp" this week (just during the day) so I have to drive into The Big City twice a day this week. We discovered that ds13 hasn't had a tetanus shot since 2006, so he has to get one tonight for boy scout camp. Our houseguest will be over at some point. I forgot about them and left the hardboiled eggs in the IP for almost 2 hours. Dh says they are still edible. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
